Brief Summary of Discussion: 

1. Opening Remarks: Dr. Gail Fuller, DEDSO Supply Administrator, welcomed attendees 

and encouraged a discussion on the implementation status of Approved DLMS Change 

(ADC) 1244B from all participants. Dawn Izzi, ODASD, provided opening remarks and 

encouraged the group’s continued discussion and efforts towards ADC 1244B execution and 

strategy updates.

2. Meeting Topics: 

Dr. Fuller provided a brief overview of the topics to be discussed, outlined below. 

a. Agenda Topic 1 – DLA ADC 1244B Implementation Strategy Updates. 

Ms. Christine Varner, DLA J345 Asset Management, briefed DLA's status, asserting that 

DLAI document 4140.05 is anticipated to be published at the end of October. The Request 

for Comments (RFC) DOF-C22-0087 document has been submitted for Small Arms 

Serialization Program (SASP) for Disposition Services as well and the next step will be 

finalization. In addition, Warehouse Management System (WMS) & 1244B Go-Live at 

Anniston is scheduled for January 16, 2024. There is a target ready for testing date for 

November 30, 2023, through end of year. Once the DLAI 4140.05 document is signed, it 

will allow Anniston to receive weapons expeditiously. Ms. Varner asserted that challenges 

include ensuring that the services have the connectivity with DLA and DPAS for DLMS 

changes. Another challenge noted is how Decision Support System (DSS) and WMS 
interacts with Location Last Account Serialized Item Entry (LLASIE); DLA is waiting for 

LLASIE requirements from the Army.

Ms. Varner asserted that there are challenges with implementing sooner than DoD, including 

DLA Transaction Services Defense Automatic Addressing System (DAAS) generating 

DLMS 140A on behalf of WMS. Another challenge is limited Transaction Codes (TRAC)

during the transition period, i.e., DLMS 856S qualifiers are not available in WMS (SCP and 

A13), as no Component available in time for end-to-end testing. Additional challenges will 

be ensuring that the services have the connectivity with DLA and Defense Priorities and 

Allocation System (DPAS) for DLMS changes as well as analyzing how DSS/WMS interacts 

with LLASIE. DLA is also waiting for LLASIE requirements from the Army. 

Ms. Varner briefed that the next steps include finalizing the RFCs for DLA Distribution and 

DLA Disposition for ADC 1244B as well as target Ready-for-Testing date of November 30th, 

2023 (Disposition & Distribution). Ms. Varner asserted once the DLAI 4140.05 document is 

signed, this will allow Anniston to receipt New Procurement weapons expeditiously.

Mr. Rafael Gonzalez, DLA J345 Asset Management, brought up the 1244B Memorandum 

for Record (MFR). Mr. Gonzalez asserted that WMS needs to implement ahead of everyone 

else, due to that expeditious implementation mentioned earlier; WMS needs to have a way to 

continue to test and implement for 1244B requirements. Mr. Gonzalez wrote a Memorandum 

for Record, which explains how this will be accomplished. The MFR explains how DAAS 

will interact with WMS: DAAS will identify transaction and develop a 140A transaction and 

route appropriately. Even with the MFR, WMS is not likely to know who owner of material 

is, the materiel owner must report this information. Mr. Gonzalez stated the 140A 

transaction will stay until all Components are able to employ ADC 1244B. Mr. Eric Kelley, 

Army, asked if this would impact the 888 transaction and Mr. Rafael Gonzalez stated this 

transaction allows you to do the change through the registry. 

Ms. Erin Fowles, DLA J6 Information Systems, noted the challenges for DLA; highlighting 

that part of those challenges are including the actual system testing that needs to occur to put 

implementation types which need to be appraised. As a result, Ms. Fowles stated WMS 

needs all testing partners to reach out to her at WMS to ensure testing is effective. Ms. 

Fowles highlighted how interoperability testing is vital before production environment. 

DEDSO has an action to send a coordinating email to trading partners to ensure the points of 

contacts are made available.

In closing, Mr. Rafael Gonzalez posed the following statement to set the tone for the 

remainder of the brief, stating that WMS would like to know the status of where services are 

with implementation, will they be ready to implement by 2025, WMS would like the 

components to answer these questions during their brief.

Action Item 1: WMS needs all testing partners to reach out to Ms. Fowles at WMS to ensure 

testing is effective. Interoperability testing is vital before production environment. DEDSO to 

send a coordinating email to trading partners to ensure the points of contacts are made available. 

Status: Closed.
b. Agenda Topic 2 – Army ADC 1244B Implementation Strategy Updates 

Mr. Oliver Pryor, Army, opened the Army brief citing that the Army has had many team 

discussions to meet goals. Challenges are that testing needs to be done. Army registry 

requirement details need to be worked out in order to make a determination for upcoming 

goals. 

Mr. Eric Kelly, Army, stated that the Army Process Improvement (API) way forward, is to 

have a technical lead discussion starting in November 2023. Ms. Sandy Clark, Naval 

Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane, noted that all services do not have resourcing or 

requirement for APIs.

Mr. Paul Macias, DEDSO Contract Support, inquired of the Army, as to whether there has 

been a discussion surrounding the old records in the registry and what will become of those

as a result. Mr. Joel Yurcaba responded stating that when the Army Enterprise Systems 

Integration Program (AESIP) stood up the initial LLASSIE proof of concept, the data 

repository for LMP has been built with the API. As a result, the interface with existing 

registry has been created, and it is now an ongoing registry, and the historical repository is 

capturing registry data. 

From a Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) perspective, G-Army will be involved with 

Ms. Fowles to ensure that the trading partner testing is underway. Mr. Joel Yurcaba, Army,

asserted that in November 2023, the Army will hold a series of meetings of APIs and 

technical expectations. This meeting will implement discussions of DLMS mapping based 

on Global Combat Support System (GCSS-A) guidance.

Action Item 2: Mr. Rafael Gonzalez inquired of the Army, when will Logistics Modernization 

Program (LMP)/Global Combat Support System (GCSS) be ready for testing. Mr. Oliver Pryor 

recorded as an action to discuss internally before providing a response to Mr. Gonzalez.
c. Agenda Topic 3- Marine Corps ADC 1244B Implementation Strategy 

Updates

Mr. Kevin Austin, United States Marine Corps (USMC), briefed stating the USMC is on 

track to ensure they are compliant with ADC 1244B and providing updated timelines and 

involved ADCs for full compliance. Ms. Angie Hagemeier briefed per United States 

Marine Corps Headquarters (HQMC), Global Combat Support System- Marine Corps 

(GCSS-MC) will be compliant with ADC 1244B by Fiscal Year 2026. Ms. Hagemeier 

stated that per HQMC, USMC will continue to utilize Crane USMC Component Registry 

after ADC 1244B goes live and that NSWC Crane is currently obtaining access to 

Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP). Ms. Hagemeier briefed that 

the next steps will be to find answers to the funding challenge and obtain new date that 

API requirements will be available from the Army. HQMC will be facilitating meetings 

by Quarter 2 of Fiscal Year 2024 between Crane Marine Corps Registry, Small Arms 

Executive Agent (SAEA), and GCSS-MC Resource Sponsor to ensure compliance with 

ADC 1244B and all Small Arms/Light Weapons policies. In addition, Crane Marine 

Corps Registry will formulate processes with HQMC/SAEA guidance for GCSS-MC/

Management Support and Data Analysis (MSADA) interface. An additional next step 

will be discussing the effects of memory/cost, registry workflow, Standard Operating 

Procedures (SOPs), and re-training of all MC Registry points of contacts; the meeting for 

this discussion is planned by Quarter 2 of Fiscal Year 2024 if the above-mentioned 

funding challenge and compliance challenges are met. Additional next steps asserted by 

Ms. Hagemeier, will be determining the course of action in response to Marine Corps 

DoDAACs in Management Support and Data Analysis (MSADA) without DLA 

approved Routing Identifier Code (RIC) as well as deploying Crane’s expansion of serial 

number field from 11-character fields to 30-character fields, once other services ready 

prior to go-live testing.

d. Agenda Topic 4- Navy ADC 1244B Implementation Strategy Updates

Ms. Angie Hagemeier, NSWC Crane, also briefed the Navy's current implementation 

status, asserting that MSADA deemed Navy program of record is the stated work-around 

for the Navy until ERP can implement all ADC 1244B Requirements. Management 

Support and Data Analysis (MSADA) testing for sending DLMS transactions 856S & 

527R to DAAS has been successful. In addition, as a potential trading partner, SYD184 

(DRMO) has DoDAAC & RIC loaded in DAAS. Ms. Hagemeier stated that NSWC 

Crane is waiting for confirmation from Ship-To Dept. of Defense Activity Address Code 

(DoDAAC), “SYD184” in response to its ability to receive 856S & 527R transactions in 

their current system and in a testing environment. 
Ms. Hagemeier asserted that the challenges include the impact as a result of Army API 

requirements being delayed. Ms. Hagemeier cited that funding is another challenge 

concerning availability for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) changes, API, and 

Authority to Operate (ATO). Programming and working with ERP Resource Sponsor to 

ensure programming is compliant with ADC 1244B and all Small Arms/Light Weapons

policies, including implementation of all other ADCs (ERP & MSADA) is another 

challenge. Ms. Hagemeier stated that the timeline is another challenge, specifically, 

DLMS compliance efforts for Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (N-ERP) and the 

MILSTRIP project: Full project to start August 2023. Ms. Hagemeier asserted that the 

backlog of ADCs will be prioritized, and it is planned to be a four-to-five-year effort with 

a phased release roll-out.

e. Agenda Topic 5- Air Force ADC 1244B Implementation Strategy Updates

Mr. Todd Marco from Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) briefed that the Air Force 

is successful in DPAS being utilized as an Accountable Property System of Record 

(APSR) and in addition, Serial Number Registry Small Arms/Light Weapons (SA/LW)

are accounted for by serial number. Mr. Marco cited that the Air Force must internally 

decide how to manage weapons in Anniston, and whether a Defense Property 

Accountability System (DPAS) account needs to be set up or approached via an alternate 

method. Mr. Marco briefed that Communications Routing Indicator (COMRI) was tested 

and successfully passed transactions from DSS (Anniston) to DPAS via DAAS. Mr. 

Marco asserted that some of the challenges include Air Force determining a way forward 

to manage SA/LW stored at Anniston ARMY Depot and DPAS DOLI Updates. Mr. 

Marco asserted the next steps will be the Air Force Small Arms/Light Weapons Serial 

Number Registry (SNR) Established within DPAS. 

f. Agenda Topic 6– Wrap Up/Action Items. Dr. Fuller thanked the participants 

for the great discussion and progress, highlighting the importance of communication from 

the group. The next ADC 1244B PRC is tentatively scheduled for January 17, 2024.

Action Item 3: SOCOM is a trading partner that DEDSO requested to start being included in 

Implementation Status. The point of contact is Ms. Sonia Sanders, who sent an email to DEDSO 

Supply 10/19/23. Status: Closed.
